Syracuse, N.Y. -- We've had a cold and snow winter, but not cold and snowy enough to make the top ten worst winters list compiled by The Weather Channel.

Syracuse has seen the 13th coldest winter and the 17th snowiest winter through March 16. That wasn't bad enough to make the list of worst winters suffered by cities of 100,000 population or more, based on how much colder and snowier each city was than normal.

No New York cities made the list. All of the cities on the list, which was dominated by the Midwest.

The Weather Channel said Toledo, Ohio, was the worst-winter champion. The city that bills itself the "Water Recreation Capital of the Midwest" had record snowfall of 84.8 inches. The previous record was 73.1 inches. (For the record, Syracuse has had 129.6 inches through Thursday.)

Toledo also had its fifth-coldest January-February on record.

Here's the complete list. Do you think Syracuse should have been on it?
